Day 3 Conti...

It was late in the evening; Khushi was lounging in her bedroom, remembering the encounter she had earlier in the morning with Lard Governor. She closes her eyes, shrugs her whole body and says, "Seriously, the guy has dual personalities. One minute he is a sweet, sensitive, caring guy and next minute he is a whack job." She gets up from the bed, walks towards the closet, and grabs a pair of clothes to change into. She slides the closet door back when she hears a knock on her bedroom door. She turns around and answers, "Come in." The door opens, with a smiling Anjali on the other side. She walks in limping with her foot; stand right in front of Khushi, "Khushi I hope you are still not upset about earlier?" Khushi with a cheerful face says, "Come on Di, "she places her right hand on Anjali's left wrist, "I told you before that your brother does not scare me." Anjali tenderly smiles at her, places her own right hand above Khushi's, "I know I saw how you dealt with chote's temper, I must say I have never ever seen anyone talk back to him and live the day."

Khushi smiles at Anjali, "Well his temper does not scare me or frighten me," she lets go on Anjali's wrist, turns around walks towards the bed and continues, "Arnav Singh Raizada up till now has not met his match, but that all changes now cause Khushi Kumari Gupta is here now." With a triumphant laugh she turns back around to face Anjali. Anjali with her mouth open ajar slightly, "Well all right then, though in a way I am glad that there is someone that is not afraid of him." Khushi nods her head with a big grin plastered on her face.

The night was coming to an end; everyone had retired to their bedroom. Khushi did not know why, but she felt physically exhausted today. She had been running around the house doing chores all day and she guessed it was due to that. Though, she did not know why but she really wanted to see that Prince of Darkness. He had left in the morning with a grumpy face; she just wanted to make sure that he was okay. She did not understand what she was feeling for him, but just wanted to make sure that he was okay. She looked to her side, sees her sister sleeping peacefully with a graceful smiling spreading over lips. Khushi begins to think, 'Mhh naughty Jiji must be thinking about Aakash jeeju.' She turns back to her side, contemplates whether to go and see if he is home or not. She shakes her head in a negative, decides against it, closes her eyes and finally let the sleep take over.

AR Office

Arnav was still in his office, dealing with some business issues. He looks at the time on his laptop and notices that it was well past 9pm at night. He knew that his Di would be worried about him, decided to send her a message letting her know that he will home shortly. After he had sent the message, he looks at the big brown envelope in front of him, curios to know what it was; he picks it up and begins to tear it open. He takes the contents out of the package, sees that they are the picture proofs of the photo shoot. He begins to flip the images one by one and is completely mesmerized by them. All the pictures were of Khushi dressed in his designer sari who looked like and angel in all of them. Suffice to say that he was in a complete awe of her beauty is an understatement, he was stunned by her simplicity and porcelain features. He flips through more images of the shoot and his eyes land on one particular picture. It was a picture of Khushi with her hair flying in air, mischievous eyes and tongue sticking out. He started to laugh at the picture in his hand, he shakes his head as there was a sticky note on it which read, 'ASR, I know you are not going include this image in the calendar, however this is a cute picture of Ms. Gupta which I think is adorable. If you could please kindly forward this picture to her. I am sure she will love it.' Arnav removed the sticky note, "Sorry can't do that." With a warm smile on his lips, he opened his third drawer and placed the picture in it. He gathered the rest of the images, placed them back into the envelope, and decided that tomorrow he will finalize his decision on which pictures are going to be used for the calendar.

Days were going by fast with each and every member of the family busy with their duties. Day 4, 5, and 6 went by so fast that no one had a chance to breathe any air. Arnav and Khushi had maintained to stay out of each other's way for the last three days. It seemed that Arnav left for the office before she awoke and returned late at night while she was sleeping. Khushi did not even realize his absence and neither did Arnav for her, but they always felt something amiss in their hearts. His days were busy with marketing the calendar out to the public and to his international delegates. Hers were busy with helping around for the engagement party, making sure all the decorations were in order, clothes that needed to be bought and everything else. Though, she still had purchase her outfit for the party, but decided that there was still time for that. She was also shopping for the wedding things, since after the engagement the wedding was not far behind. She kept on thinking, that 24 hrs in a day are not enough for her, because they went by in a jiff.

Day 7...

It was the 7^th day which meant that only 7 days were remaining till the engagement. Payal was getting nervous each day as her impending engagement was coming close. Though, she had grown closer to Aakash ji in those days and for that she was utterly happy. She had started to know the inns' and out's of her future husband. Khushi was coming down the stairs, sees her sister in a daydreaming state and starts to smile. She shakes her head and walks closer to her. She comes to stand right beside her, notices that her sister was staring at something intently. She looks towards the empty hallway, and then back at her, she starts to wave a hand in front of Payal's face to get her attention. But to her dismay it did not work as her sister was still glued on daydreaming, she shakes her head, smiles and places both of her hands on her hips. Arnav was walking down the stairs with his briefcase and sees Khushi's backside facing him. He did not why, but it felt like ages to him that he was seeing her. He looks closely as to what she was trying to do; he then sees that she was trying to get her sister's attention. He smirks and proceeds to sit down at the breakfast table. Khushi frustrated at fact that her sister was still not out of her daydreaming stance snaps her fingers in front of her face, "Oh my darling jiji, please come back to earth." Hearing her voice, Payal snaps out of her trance looks down shyly. Khushi smiles at her sister and says, "Chale nasta karne?" Payal nods her head and both make their way to the table.

Khushi walks towards the table and sees him sitting there sipping his cup of tea. She looks at him and mutters under breathe, "Crazy lunatic, whack job. She walks towards the table, pulls the chair out opposite him and sits down. Arnav had heard her muttered says, "Excuse me?" Khushi stared into his eyes and answers him with irritation, "You are thoroughly excused." Payal heard sister answer back Arnav with rudeness hits her shoulder, "Khushi enough that is no way to talk to somebody." Khushi gives him a mean glare and leans back into her chair with a huff. Arnav looks in the direction of Payal, "It is okay Payal, who are you trying teach manners, someone who is crazy." Khushi after hearing what he had said, blows up at him, "Did you just call me crazy?" She was now fuming with anger at the audacity of this man; I mean here she was thinking about being nice to him, but that all went out the water once he opened his big, arrogant mouth. Arnav thoroughly amused by her reaction says, "If the shoe fits.." Khushi is left with gawking her mouth open and her temper rising to another level. Payal places her hand on Khushi's shoulder to calm her down and says, "Enough Khushi." Khushi gives her sister a look which said no Jiji I will teach this Laad Governor a lesson today, "You.. umm." She could not even form proper sentence as that how pissed off she was with him. Arnav starts to laugh at her; Khushi was flabbergasted at this man, "You know what Mr. Raizada I am not the one who is crazy you are. I mean you might be suffering from dual personalities." Arnav with infuriated look says, "Excuse me." Khushi places both of her elbows on the table, leans in a bit and with irritation says, "Do you just have three words in your vocabulary, Excuse me and what the..,"

Arnav's temper had begun to rise now with this chit of a girl and gives her an angry glare. "Let's see why I think you are a crazy person, one minute you are a nice guy and then next some sort of a whack job who undoubtedly was released early from mental asylum." Arnav's eyes start to become dark with fury; his jaw clenched giving her a look of death. Khushi raises one of her eyebrows as to saying right is that suppose to scare me? Arnav begins to open his mouth to tell her off; when he hears his sister's voice from behind, "Enough chote!" He closes his mouth; tightens his fist and closes his eyes to let the temper pass him by. Anjali walks in towards them with a look of displeasure evident on her face. Shyam who was trailing right behind her had witnessed the quarrel between his brother-in-law and Khushi. At first, he was utterly surprised that Arnav was joking around, but then he realized that where there is hate, there is also love. He smiled to himself as he thought that finally Arnav Singh Raizada has met his match in the form of Khushi Kumari Gupta. It true what they say that a woman can bring any man down on his knees.

Anjali stands right beside her brother towards his right side and says, "Why do you always pick on her?" she looks towards Khushi, who now leaned back in her chair with both of her arms had crossed at her chest. She gives him a grin as she knew that he was about to get a lecture from his sister. Arnav stares at her with venomous eyes and replies to his sister, "Because she annoys me Di and also the fact that she has a loud mouth and does not know when to shut it." Khushi could not believe her ears, did she hear him right and he called her a loud mouth. She leaned forward to answer him, but before she could even open her mouth, she felt her sister hold her back. Anjali shakes her head in disappointment and says, "Chote, she is our guest and we don't treat our guest this way." Shyam nods his head also in agreeing along with his wife. Arnav purses his lips together, with anger gets up from his chair and says, "Well then tell her to behave like a guest." Anjali stunned at her brother's behaviour, "Enough chote, come on now please apologize to Khushi." Arnav instantly turns his head towards his sister with a stunned reaction as to what she was asking him to do. Payal senses the friction between the siblings and interrupts, "Di, it is okay. Bhai does not have apologize to Khushi," Khushi stunned by the words coming out of her sisters mouth says with astonishment, "What do you mean he does not have to apologize? Damn right he has too!" Payal closes her eyes and tells her sister, "Enough Khushi, he does not have to apologize to you because he is older and lest you forgot that we are guests in his house." Khushi saw the look of sternness on her sister face; made a disgusted face and stared right into Arnav's eyes. His eyes were no longer dark, ranging from anger, but rather a playful glint in them. It said to her that he had won this round and to think twice before crossing his path again. Khushi made a vow to herself that she will make the great ASR apologize to her one way or another. Shyam notices the look between the two with a joyful smile playing on his lips, the sparks of love had already started between the two even if they are in the phase of murdering each other, but it had started. Arnav walked out of the room with his head held high as he did not have to apologize to that obnoxious girl. Though the pout she made with her lips when her sister told her off was something. All he could think about was taking those luscious lips in a lock. He snaps out of his trance, what the hell am I thinking? I am thinking about kissing that girl? I am must have really hit my head somewhere, he thinks. He shakes his head to get those thoughts out of his head and gets into his car.
